As for 10 years, 20 years, those people killed by drunk drivers are still dead and those people paralyzed are still paralyzed.

BTW making a mistake is putting the wrong oil in your car. A mistake means you didn't know better. DUI is a criminal act.

And it isn't going to stop until we make the consequences too painful to ignore.

ok. back to the OP. I think it's fair to say that he owns his mistake and wants to be honest. That is all any of can do. We have all made them.

On the other subject as an ER nurse it's my viewpoint that if you drink and drive and blow >than the limit, you should lose your driving privileges for 2 years automatically. If during that period you drive and are caught or have any offense with alcohol while driving you go to jail for 5 years. If after that you reoffend, you go to jail for 25 years. If during any of this time, your drunk driving harms or kills another person you go to jail for 35 years automatically.

I wouldn't do that if for example a spouse owns the car jointly (don't punish the other owner).

If you let them have the car you're responsible as well just like cosigning a loan. Feel free to sue the drunk driver to recover your losses though.
